Stick Insect

A tiny stick insect on a green leaf. These insects have different sizes and can be easily missed because they blend in the environment well. This photo was taken using a point and shoot camera using macro setting. Very mininal VSCO filter was used to lessen the greens.

The Color Purple

Flowers

Purple is said to be the color of royalty, of nobility, of strength, of mystery and of magic. Combining red and blue, purple feels like a strong color. In some countries this is the color associated with mourning.
Purple too is a favorite among young women.

The Earth Gives

 

As a teacher, I encounter different answers from different children. If a child says that some flowers are blue, some trees are red, not all clouds are white and the moon can be seen at day, then that child (or children) can be assumed to be in tuned with what nature has shown and how the environment has influenced him/her in observing the things happening around. It is always a good idea to teach children how to observe and respect nature so that their generation can enjoy the Earth’s lovely places and in moderation, its bounty.

The Little Things

Happiness is enjoying the little things in life: a smile, a pat on the back, a little breeze to help cool you down for just a minute, a warm sunshine after days of rain, a glass of cool water to ease a parched throat or a little weed flower that grew amidst the overgrown front yard grass.

These little things, compared to the grand scheme of life, are often unappreciated and unnoticed but when we look back, we realize that these made us feel more loved, more alive, more appreciative and more joyful.

The earth gives and we take away. Have we done anything to give back to the one that gives it all and until there’s no more? Have you plundered more than you’ll ever need because you want to have a lot of money in your pockets, more food than you can eat, more bags and shoes than you can ever use, burn a lot of carbon foorprints and leave nothing to those who toil the earth so you can enrich yourself?
